010 The Case of the Embarrassing Eczema and Rash w/ Beth Mosher

010 The Case of the Embarrassing Eczema and Rash w/ Beth Mosher

The Case:

  • Karen is 31 and eats a very healthy diet.
  • She started to experience eczema, rashes, and itchy skin as well as anxiety.
  • Doctors prescribed topical steroids and antihistamines but these only masked the symptoms.
  • Here condition escalated to swollen eyes and hives on her face.

The Investigation

When I met with Karen I suspected that her diet was to blame for her condition even though she was eating really healthy. I just knew there was something in her diet that was causing the problem; something was causing a histamine reaction. But, I also suspected it likely wasn’t a traditional food allergy.

I brainstormed with my partner at Complete Nutrition and Wellness, Beth Mosher. She’s a clinical nutritionist who has been studying nutrition and how it relates to health and human development for almost 20 years.

I knew that together, we could solve this health mystery. We knew that it wasn’t a specific food allergy or sensitivity so we had to look at how else food could be impacting her.

Allergic Reactions can be to Components of Foods

Some people may have traditional tests that prove they are not allergic to a certain food but that does not necessarily mean that they won’t have an allergic reaction to a component of this food. Certain components of foods, particularly plant foods, produce histamine reactions.

High Sulfur Foods

Sulfur is found in a variety of foods in varying degrees. Leafy greens have a high amount of sulfur, especially spinach and kale. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli also contain sulfur. Protein can contain sulfur, specifically eggs and shrimp. Fermented foods including pickled foods, beer, and wine also contain high amounts of sulfites.

Sulfur Can Cause a Histamine Reaction

Many foods contain sulfur and while some sulfur is important for the body to function optimally, too much can create a backlog. When the body tries to metabolize this backlog of sulfur it can produce substances that create a histamine reaction. This can manifest as itchy skin, hives, swelling, or eczema.

Genetics Also Plays a Role

Not everyone who eats sulfur-rich foods is going to have this histamine reaction. Every body is different. One person may eat a diet high in sulfur with no adverse reaction because they are not predisposed to it genetically.

Sulfites Can Build Up in the Body

Sulfites can be quite toxic when they backup in the body (because they are not being properly processed) and can be converted into ammonia. Symptoms like hives, itchy skin, swollen lips and eyes, and eczema can appear to come out of nowhere. People who have not changed their diet at all might not think that food could be the cause because nothing has changed. However a diet (like the paleo diet) can cause sulfur build up overtime, which can reach a point where the body can no longer metabolize it and the result is a histamine reaction.

Early Signs of Sulfite Buildup

Sulfur generally produces a histamine reaction including hives, rashes, and itchiness around the eyes. However, a sulfur buildup in the early stages can present as headaches, itchy skin (without hives or rash), or digestive issues. Feelings of anxiety can also be a symptom of sulfur overload as metabolizing sulfur can release ammonia which in turn elevates cortisol (the stress hormone). Reducing high sulfite foods and managing sulfur in general when these early signs show up could help reduce the chances of a full histamine reaction.

Detoxing Sulfite Overload

When detoxing the body of excess sulfites, it’s a good idea to take Epsom salt baths every day or every other day. Place a cup and a half of Epsom salts in a warm bath and soak for 20 minutes. This helps the body metabolize the backlog of sulfites and get the toxins out. Charcoal tablets may also help to absorb the ammonia and carry it out and molybdenum can help the SOUX enzyme process sulfites more efficiently.

Testing for Sulfite Overload

There are a few tests that can be done to prove the skin irritations are caused by a histamine reaction caused by sulfur overload. One is an organic acid test done through urine. There are also genetic tests that can be done. However, most people prove out the cause by lowering their consumption of sulfite rich foods and seeing if the symptoms subside.

We Need Sulfur

Many high-sulfur foods are extremely healthy and our bodies need sulfur. However, if it is not processing it into sulfate (do to a blockage in the pathway caused by a buildup) then we need to address that. It’s important to find a balance and to be aware of the warning signs that there might be a backlog of sulfites in the system.

Mystery Solved

Our suspicions were confirmed with Karen after we ran an organic acid test. What we found was that despite eating a lot of sulfur-rich foods (like green drinks and veggies), her body was not converting that into sulfate which meant that her body was instead, creating ammonia. This led to her skin issues and likely released cortisol which could explain her heightened feelings of anxiety.

It might sound crazy for a nutritionist to say, but the prescription was for her to decrease her green juices and other sulfur-rich foods. She also took regular Epsom salt baths to help with the detoxification process. Her body (and skin) responded within a week to these changes. Now she’s careful about how much sulfites and high sulfur foods are in her diet.

Eliminating Health Mysteries

For Karen we were able to find that missing piece of the health puzzle and help her regain her healthy skin. Do you suffer from unexplained allergic reactions like hives, eczema, rashes, itchy skin or swollen lips or eyes? Could this be the missing clue for you or someone in your life?

196 Why Positive Thinking Can Backfire with Hashimoto’s with Anat Peri

196 Why Positive Thinking Can Backfire with Hashimoto’s with Anat Peri

In this powerful episode, Inna is joined by transformational leader and inner child expert Anat Peri to explore an unexpected twist in the Hashimoto’s healing journey. Together, they dive into the case of Jessica, who was doing all the “right” things, following the AIP diet, taking supplements, working on her mindset, but still felt exhausted and stuck. Her symptoms weren’t improving, and her doctor’s solution was to increase her medication yet again.The turning point came when she uncovered something deeper. Jessica was trying so hard to stay positive, think positive, do her affirmations because that is what she was told she should be doing. However by doing that, she was unintentionally overriding her true emotions and it made her feel way worse.Anat explains how this kind of forced positivity can be a detriment because it can actually create stress in the nervous system, keeping the body in a chronic state of fight, flight, or freeze. This episode unpacks how overriding your feelings can actually worsen autoimmune symptoms and why true healing starts with emotional safety.Anat also shares the science behind how the nervous system reacts faster than the conscious mind, how inner child work helps create safety, and why nervous system regulation must come before mindset work can truly be effective. From breathwork to sensation naming to reparenting tools, you’ll learn how to create space for your emotions and support your healing from the inside out.This episode is an essential listen for anyone who has tried it all and still feels like something is missing. It might not be about doing more. It might be about feeling more.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/positive-thinking-hashimotos-anat-peri/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Hashimoto’s at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

195 The Surprising Empath–Thyroid Connection with Kristen Schwartz

195 The Surprising Empath–Thyroid Connection with Kristen Schwartz

If you have Hashimoto’s, there’s a very real chance you’re also an empath and you may not even realize it.This matters more than you think. Because when you’re highly sensitive and constantly absorbing everything around you (other people’s energy, emotions, even stress), your nervous system takes the hit. And when the nervous system is in overdrive, it becomes very hard to heal, no matter how clean your diet is or how many supplements you take.In this episode, Inna is joined by trauma-informed coach and empath expert Kristen Schwartz to talk about something that’s rarely discussed in the Hashimoto’s world: how being an unrecognized empath can be one of the biggest hidden blocks to healing. Kristen breaks down how fatigue, overstimulation, anxiety, heart palpitations, and even sleep issues can all trace back to nervous system dysregulation and how this shows up differently in sensitive people.You’ll learn how to tell if this is what’s really happening in your body, how to start regulating (without adding more to your to-do list), and how to gently reconnect to yourself without pressure or performance. Kristen shares simple but powerful shifts that help you reclaim your energy, feel safe in your body again, and finally get unstuck.If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but still feel wired, tired, or anxious, this conversation could be the missing link. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of what’s really going on under the surface and what to do about it.----------For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/empath-thyroid-connection-kristen-schwartz/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Hashimoto’s at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

194 Conflicting Hashimoto’s Advice: How To Find Your Path to Healing

When you’re living with Hashimoto’s,  it’s easy to end up overwhelmed, especially when you’re getting conflicting advice from different practitioners. In this episode, Inna shares a real-life case where a client was stuck in that very situation, caught between protocols and unsure how to move forward. What helped wasn’t more advice, instead it was learning to trust her own intuition.To explore this idea further, Inna is joined by Karly Ashworth, a transformational coach and intuitive guide who helps people reconnect to their inner voice and find clarity. Together, they talk about how tuning into your intuition can help you navigate confusing symptoms, make better health decisions, and even uncover emotional patterns that might be affecting your thyroid.They dive into what intuition really is (and why we all have it), how it relates to the throat chakra and the thyroid, and why emotional triggers such as indecision or self-doubt can sometimes do just as much damage as physical ones.

193 Root Canals, Cavities, and Hashimoto’s: What Your Dentist Isn’t Telling You with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen

193 Root Canals, Cavities, and Hashimoto’s: What Your Dentist Isn’t Telling You with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen

When a patient has tried every clean-eating plan, every supplement protocol, and every practitioner,  but is still exhausted, anxious, and foggy  it’s time to look where no one else has. In this episode, Inna teams up with functional dentist Dr. Michelle Jorgensen to explore a very overlooked trigger and aggravator for Hashimoto’s symptoms: your mouth.Through the case of “Cindy,” a Hashimoto’s patient who did everything right but still wasn’t getting better, Inna and Dr. Michelle reveal how hidden dental infections, past root canals, and even the materials used in old dental work can silently drive inflammation and autoimmune flares. What looks like “perfect” dental health on X-rays might actually be masking deep, ongoing issues that most conventional dentists never catch.Dr. Michelle brings her unique insight as a dentist-turned-health detective, showing how problems like cavitations, mixed metals, and even mouth breathing can create a ripple effect on the immune system, the microbiome, and the thyroid. She also explains how to safely investigate and address these issues  and why healing often requires asking the questions no one else is asking.This episode opens a powerful new conversation for anyone with Hashimoto’s who still doesn’t feel well despite doing “everything right” and exactly what you can do to explore what your mouth is trying to tell you.----------For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/root-canals-cavities-hashimotos-dentist-dr-michelle-jorgensen/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Hashimoto’s at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto’s please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto’s, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto’s, please check out Inna’s 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don’t yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna’s next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall
